Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that's why I ended up writing.

Turn off the TV and start digging around for information that's not from a corporation trying to make money.

Some guy refuses to fight and we call that the sin, but he's standing up for what he believes in and that seems pretty damned American to me.

Writing, overall, has never been what I'd call fun. It's fulfilling. It doesn't come real easy for me.

We got CEOs making 200 times the worker's pay, but they'll fight like hell against raising the minimum wage.

I've always been aware of having feelings that were pretty intense at times. I imagine most people have had that, or they wouldn't be human.

For a long time I was interested in being a social worker. In a lot of ways I feel that that's all my music is, trying to help people.
